Jonathan Chan

Participating in two rounds of the CPABC case competition was a very memorable learning experience. I enjoyed the unique mix of junior and senior students and the diversity in our teams' specializations. We were able to leverage our respective strengths to hone our presentation skills while applying accounting and strategy to the case. I also appreciated the informative and thorough feedback from the panel of CPA judges. I highly recommend this case competition to any students who are interested in a fun learning opportunity!

Participating in the CPABC Business Case Competition was an incredibly rewarding experience! It was a great opportunity to work in a collaborative environment with my team to develop our recommendations and apply our presentation skills. My team and I worked efficiently to think on our feet while conducting our analysis and developing our strategies in a limited amount of time. CPABC did a fantastic job to provide all competitors with valuable networking opportunities and a very memorable experience overall.

Carrie Liu

Throughout the course of the CPABC case competition I was not only able to develop my presentation, strategic thinking and problem-solving skills, but I had an amazing time working alongside my teammates. The dinner gala event was a great way to sum up the entire competition, and I would highly recommend participating in the next annual CPABC case competition for any students interested!

Cindy Wang

I would like to thank everyone involved in organizing the CPABC case competition for a great experience. My team and I were able to practice our critical thinking and business presentation skills through the two rounds of presentations. As this was my first case competition, I learned a lot about working together under time pressure and how to create informative business recommendations specific to different situations. Overall, the CPABC's case competition was very supportive, encouraging and a great opportunity for students to challenge themselves and learn!
